REGINA — SaskEnergy is conducting gas flaring in two locations on Wednesday, July 9.
From 4 to 9 a.m. flaring of lines near Chaplain and Parkbeg will be carried out.
The Chaplin Compressor is located within the RM of Chaplin, north of Highway 1, approximately nine kilometres west of the Village of Chaplin.
A TransGas block valve site is located within the RM of Wheatlands, north of the eastbound lanes of Highway 1, approximately five kilometres east of the Village of Parkbeg.
Residents and drivers in these areas may see a 40-foot flame 小蓝视频 emitted from the flare stack temporarily attached to SaskEnergy’s infrastructure.
According to SaskEnergy, the flaring is necessary to perform maintenance work on the natural gas line system in the area and supports the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to SaskEnergy’s customers. During this process, a portion of the gas line will be isolated from the system and natural gas will be removed from the line in a controlled burn called a flare. Flaring is an industry standard practice when natural gas needs to be removed from a line and reduces the carbon footprint of the vented natural gas by 85 per cent, says SaskEnergy.
The area around the flare will be supervised to ensure public safety. Residential natural gas service in the area will not be affected.
